Liverpool Vs Chelsea 1 : 2 Full Time by myhobbies(m): 7:55pm On Nov 07, 2014 |
Brendan Rodgers has called on Liverpool to banish memories of their last home meeting with Chelsea and kickstart their season on Saturday. Captain Steven Gerrard slipped as Demba Ba stole in to open the scoring at Anfield last term, with Jose Mourinho's men going on to win 2-0 and dent Liverpool's dreams of winning their first Barclays Premier League title. The Merseysiders headed into that fixture in April top of the table and on the back of an incredible 11-match winning streak, but eventually lost out on the title to Manchester City by two points after succumbing to Chelsea and drawing their next match with Crystal Palace. "When we play at Anfield, no matter the opponent, we have every confidence we can go on and get a result" Brendan RodgersLiverpool's form going into this season's fixture at Anfield is in stark contrast to back then, though, as they sit 12 points behind unbeaten BPL leaders Chelsea after just 10 matches. But Rodgers believes this meeting with Mourinho's side could provide a springboard for the remainder of their season. "This weekend's game against Chelsea is obviously a big game," he said. "We'll have learnt from last season's defeat to them, it'll be tough though. They're the best team in the league at the moment, that's why they are top of the league. "When we play at Anfield, no matter the opponent, we have every confidence we can go on and get a result. This game offers us a great chance at home to get a result and can kick- start the season for us." The match will unquestionably stir some bad memories for Gerrard, but Rodgers says his skipper deserves credit for the way he has recovered from his untimely slip at Anfield. "I think Gerrard recovering mentally shows the magnificent response from him," he continued. "There was no blame, [it was] just unfortunate. "He was instrumental to our run last year and how well we played. He's a big character and bounced back well from that." Chelsea, four points clear of Southampton at the top, were chasing Liverpool when the sides met in April, but with the roles reversed this time around, defender Branislav Ivanovic believes the change of circumstances will make for a completely different encounter. "Last season was completely different from this one," he remarked. "It was three games to go, they were fighting for the title and they wanted to win - they struggled in a must-win. "Now we are top of the table. We know it's difficult at Anfield, but also our team knows how to win there. We know what we have to do.'' Liverpool manager Rodgers has hinted he could ring the changes once again, with the likes of Gerrard and Raheem Sterling likely to return after being rested for the Reds' 1-0 defeat by Real Madrid in their UEFA Champions League encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. "This isn't a computer game," he said. "We're dealing with the reality of lots of games in a short space of time. We need to make changes." Daniel Sturridge (calf) remains sidelined for Rodgers' side, while Chelsea's Loic Remy (muscle) is likely to be missing and John Obi Mikel (knee) is a doubt. Liverpool (from): Jones, Mignolet, Johnson, Jose Enrique, Lovren, Manquillo, Moreno, Skrtel, Toure, Allen, Can, Coutinho, Gerrard, Henderson, Lallana, Lucas, Markovic, Suso, Balotelli, Borini, Lambert, Sterling. Chelsea (from): Cech, Courtois, Schwarzer, Ake, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Christensen, Filipe, Ivanovic, Terry, Zouma, Fabregas, Hazard, Matic, Mikel, Oscar, Ramires, Salah, Willian, Costa, Drogba, Remy, Schurrle. Match Facts Chelsea have netted four goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches this season, more than any other team in the Barclays Premier League. Liverpool have finished in the top four on the three previous occasions that they have had exactly 14 points after 10 matches. Let's go THERE..... We are the BLUES.... |

Mourinho: Good news day Jose Mourinho played down the importance of last season's victory at Anfield on tomorrow's game, but what he can say is that his team is ready for the test that awaits us on Merseyside. The lunchtime kick-off will bring to an end a busy schedule of seven games in 22 days, sandwiched between two breaks for international football, and the game in the North-West comes just a couple of days after the squad returned from midweek European action in Slovenia. Speaking at his pre-match press conference to preview the match, Mourinho first discussed the breaking news that Diego Costa had not been called up to the Spanish squad for their forthcoming Euro 2016 qualifier against Belarus and friendly with Germany. ‘I’m pleased but I want to make it clear I did nothing for that to happen,’ the manager said. ‘As you could see he was protected on Wednesday but because the result was not good I couldn’t protect him and I had to play him for 45 minutes. ‘As a consequence of the work we are doing with him we think he is ready to start the match tomorrow. In the 15 days after he can rest and work properly. It’s fantastic news for us and I obviously thank the Spanish Football Federation for the decision they made, but I want to make it clear I did nothing for that to happen. ‘After the match the plan is for Diego to have a period of complete rest - no training, no treatment – and just let him rest for a few days. After that he will continue the specific work he is doing without having a match to play. ‘It’s very good news for him, for us and for the national team, because normally now he has to go in the right direction and it’s good for the Spanish Federation to have a good Diego and not a so-so Diego.’ Mourinho had more positive news to report, announcing he has a full squad to choose from. Cesar Azpilicueta is back from serving his suspension while both John Mikel Obi and Loic Remy are fit again after knee and groin injuries respectively. It was clear our memorable triumph at Anfield in April was fresh in the mind of many journalists. Mourinho explained it was decisive in handing the title to Manchester City but when asked if it would provide extra motivation for the side managed by Brendan Rodgers this time around our boss disagreed. ‘They have enough motivation from this season. They don’t need to go to last season and especially not for the bad memories. If I was in their position I would go back to last season for the good memories – for the victories they had and the good things they did – but it’s up to them. ‘We did what we had to do – go there and not participate in the situation some people wanted to participate in. We went there and gave everything. We were the pros. In football I was always taught to play seriously, to always try to do the best for your team and to not care about the consequences of that. We were professionals – just that.’ Liverpool are currently seventh in the league table, with 14 points from their 10 games so far, something the manager puts down to the strength of the Premier League and the difficult pre-seasons encountered by all clubs as a result of the World Cup. He also complemented the investments they made in a summer in which they sold Luis Suarez to Barcelona, ensuring tomorrow’s game will be a tricky one. Mourinho ’s desire is clear. ‘Our intention is to win,’ he stressed. ‘When we have the ball we want to try to score goals and when Liverpool have the ball we have to try to stop them scoring goals. This is the ABC of football. I’ve done this since I became a coach, and I’m going to do this until my last day. ‘They are fighting for the title the same as we are. Of course one is a few points in front but I think they are in the title race. ‘I think my players are ready for it, at least mentally ready if not physically where they can have a little problem now and again, but the best way to do it is to think match after match and not about the difficulties. ‘It doesn’t matter if we are or are not in a disadvantaged position. What matters is we have to play there tomorrow at 1.45pm and we have to be ready for it. ‘What inspires us to win is our job. Every game you have to think about winning. This is the essence of football.’ |

I just hope one team won't be left alone to walk away in a cold hot afternoon or the other team breaking bottles on peoples heads for losing. Either ways, football is the game and fun is the reason for the game. |
